Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Zhang Yuhuai still shook his head and said: "It's too dangerous. Why don't I break through the Ghost Lord realm as soon as possible and go there in your place? There are a lot of things in the Fairy Cat Valley and Wuyou City that cannot be separated from you."

"No, Zi Yuan and I are both talented people. Zi Yuan is refining talismans, and I can cast spiritual weapons or refine elixirs. There is no need to go to the front line when we are in the rear. If the clan leader comes over, I am afraid he will have to be transferred to Cangwu Treasure Territory. It’s too dangerous to fight those monsters on the front line.”

"But what about your Wuyou City? Now Wuyou City has become the commercial and trade center of the entire closed area. Various forces are mixed together. If there is no strong person to control the formation, I am afraid there will be chaos."

"Aren't Fan Zhiyi and the clan leader still here? I will get two more magic weapons for you two to use. Together with the formations, even if the late-stage Jindan monks cause trouble, he will be able to peel off his skin."

"I have the Eighteen Hell Maps in my hand, but I don't need any magic weapon. If you insist on going, I will collect resources as soon as possible to cultivate the Eighteen Hell Maps and turn them into magic weapons."

"That's fine. There is no shortage of resources in Wuyou City. If the clan leader needs anything, he can just ask Uncle Sanqian."

The two discussed for a while, and then Henry Zhang left the Nine Lao Holy Palace and returned to Wuyou City.

Buddhist temple.

On top of Zen Peak.

Zhang Miaoke finally climbed up.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Above Zen Peak, there is a vast expanse.

The trees, flowers, grass, birdsong and streams are full of vitality, which is completely opposite to the scene down the mountain.

"It turns out there's something special about this place."

Zhang Miaoke walked forward along a narrow path.

Under the cover of giant trees, a large lotus flower appeared in the distance.

A thin little novice monk was patiently collecting dewdrops on the lotus.

"Little master..."

Zhang Miaoke was overjoyed when he saw the first living person here.

The little novice monk turned around and saw Zhang Miaoke.

"You are a layman from outside, how did you get here?" the young novice asked in confusion.

"I came from Fairy Cat Valley and found it with great difficulty." Zhang Miaoke said.

"The Fairy Cat Valley on the other side of the abyss? That's far enough away." said the little novice monk.

"I want to see the Buddha King of the West."

"Buddha King of the West?" The little novice monk was stunned, "Buddha King of the West is in seclusion all year round, and his direct disciples rarely see him."

"Then who among you has the final say?"

"If the Buddha King of the West is not here, the leader will naturally have the final say."

"Then take me to see your leader."

"The first one is in the Purple Lotus Golden Palace. Except for the heads of the four halls and the prison, it is difficult for others to see it."

"Then who is responsible for trade?"

"Prison Court."

"Take me to your prison."

"Only the four deacons of the prison can see it."

"Can you take me to see your deacon?"

"I can't see him. Only the head of the class can see the deacon."

"Where's the class leader?"

"The leader of the class can only be seen at Mentou, Caitou, Zhongtou, Shuitou, Chatou and Liantou."

"Then what's your position?"

"I'm just a young novice, and I'm in charge of the lotus."

"You have quite a clear hierarchy here. Then take me to see you, Lotus."

"Can't see it."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Miaoke was worried by the other party's slow temper.

"Liantou comes here every other month to collect the gold powder collected over the past month. I cannot go down the mountain privately."

"I just saw you collecting dewdrops on lotus flowers. How can you find gold powder?"

"The gold dust is in the dew."

Zhang Miaoke lowered his head and took a closer look.

Sure enough, there is a very tiny gold powder in every drop of dew.

"What kind of lotus is this? It actually produces gold powder in the dewdrops on it?" Zhang Miaoke suddenly became interested.

"This is the Golden Lotus of Samsara, which can collect the spiritual materials of Tao Yun scattered in the world."

"These gold powder particles are generated by the Samsara Golden Lotus absorbing the Tao Yun spiritual materials between heaven and earth?"

"Yes."

“What can such small particles be used for?”

"Although the gold powder is small, it can be gathered into fur and cast into the true body of the Golden Buddha."

"The true body of the Golden Buddha? What level of spiritual material is it?"

"Hmm..." the little novice monk touched his chin, "You're really making things difficult for me. If the Golden Buddha's true body must be measured, it can be regarded as a fifth-level spiritual material."

"Fifth level spiritual material? Don't lie!" Zhang Miaoke was shocked.

"It should be more precious than fifth-level spiritual materials. After all, the true body of the Golden Buddha made of gold powder is not affected by cause and effect."

"Then how precious is your piece of Samsara Golden Lotus?" Zhang Miaoke looked at this large piece of Samsara Golden Lotus with hot eyes.

"It's not that simple. Dao charm is very rare in this area. If we collect this entire Samsara Golden Lotus day and night, it will take hundreds of years to collect enough gold powder to cast the true body of the Golden Buddha."

"It's not bad to have collected so many fifth-level spiritual materials in a hundred years. Why haven't I heard that the Samsara Golden Lotus is planted in other places?"

"These samsara golden lotuses cannot enter the mortal world and must be nourished by Sanskrit sounds."

"Sanskrit sounds? It's the kind of psychedelic sound I heard at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes, the Sanskrit sounds are generated by reciting them day and night by masters with great cultivation."

“Are the Samsara Golden Lotus planted on all these peaks?”

"Only this mountain peak is planted with the Samsara Golden Lotus. The other peaks are planted with the Black Essence Lotus, Mithril White Lotus, Purple Spirit Copper Lotus, etc. There are also some peaks where big cities were built and lotuses were not planted."

"The Brahma City where the Buddhist Temple is located is the largest city here, right?"

"Yes, Brahma City is on the highest mountain."

"If I'm not mistaken, the fourth-level spiritual material Black Wujing is collected on the Black Lotus, the third-level spiritual material Mithril is collected on the Mithril White Lotus, and the second-level spiritual material Purple Lingtong is collected on the Purple Lingtong Lotus."

"The donor is really smart."

At this time, Zhang Miaoke's eyes rolled.

The Western Heaven Buddha King can actually mass-produce high-level spiritual materials.

What a big deal this is.

Even if the eight clans' old strong branches eat a little from it, it will be enough to rise.

"I want to do business with you. When will your lotus head come next time?" Zhang Miaoke said excitedly.

"About half a month later."

"Okay, then I'll wait here for half a month."

"Then you wait slowly, I still need to collect golden dew."

After speaking, the monk got busy again.

"Little master, let me help you." Zhang Miaoke chased after him.

"This golden dew is not something that everyone can collect..."

The monk hadn't finished speaking yet.

Zhang Miaoke had actually collected a drop of golden dew into the jade bottle.

The novice monk was shocked: "This samsara golden dew will turn into something when it encounters distracting thoughts. It took me half a lifetime to clear my distracting thoughts, purify my six senses, and find this job of collecting golden dew. Why did you start right away?"

Zhang Miaoke laughed and said: "Half a lifetime? How old are you to say you've spent half a lifetime? It's not difficult to collect golden dew."

"The donor may be the legendary samsara Taoist body."

"Little master, don't tease me. I'm just an ordinary middle-level spiritual root Qi-refining cultivator. How can I be a Taoist body? The tenth clan elder in my family is powerful. He has the acquired nine-thunder sword body."

"The acquired nine-thunder sword body is easy to obtain, but the innate samsara Taoist body is hard to find!" The novice monk sighed.
